    Radiator Cap on my 955H won't screw back on

    Dear Nige, Thanks for responding. I'm on a trip right now, but when I get back, I will. The cap has a female shaft in the middle, and the inside of the shaft is threaded so that it comes down on a threaded male bolt which is attached to the inside of the radiator. I'll take pictures when I...

    Radiator Cap on my 955H won't screw back on

    Greetings, I put a new set of hydraulic hoses on my 955H SN 60A09195 and started the unit back up, and all went well! However, I wanted to check the water level in the radiator. I unscrewed the cap, checked the level, and then attempted to put the cap back on. However, the threads of the...

    955H Range Selector, Bevel Gear and Steering Clutch

    Alright! I followed another thread that suggested priming the pump. That thread that it worked for them. I removed the lid of the oil pump filter, turned up upside down so the pipe was going to the oil pump. I poured some oil in there, put it back together and it worked! But the responsiveness...

    955H Range Selector, Bevel Gear and Steering Clutch

    I changed the oil and now my loader won't steer. I completed the oil change by cleaning the oil filter. I can't understand why it wont steer now

    955H Range Selector, Bevel Gear and Steering Clutch

    Greetings! I'm working on my 955H SN 60A09195. This machine is new to me so I decided to replace all of the different fluids. I started with the final drive. I drained the old oil, flushed with diesel fuel, and replenished with new oil. Next, I drained the Range Selector, Bevel Gear, and...

    Help - Identify fluid reservoirs.

    Greetings! With the return of warmer weather, I've been out learning more about my Cat 955H, S/N 60A09195. In this picture, which reservoir is in Box 1 at the bottom of the picture? Which reservoir is in Circle 2? The dipstick in Circle 2 is just to the right of the brake peddle. How do I add...

    Where does this piece go?

    Greetings! When I bought this 955H, it came with these uninstalled parts, the belly pan, the engine cover, the instrumentation enclosure, and this piece here? Any ideas would be helpful. I don't think that hole is for the exhaust. The way one short edge looks like a mount leads me to...

    Cat 955H belly pan installation.

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Safety was my first concern. That pan scares me. It's so heavy. I DID NOT WANT TO BE UNDER THE LOADER AT ALL! I didn't want my body or my hands to get hurt. I thought about using two floor jacks with cross bars. But I am working on a gravel surface and didn't...

    Cat 955H Seat Replacement

    Greetings! I went out on a limb and bought a Cat 955H track loader. So far, so good. It runs good and does what I want. However, it needs a little work. This is a picture of what I got for a seat. To be fair to the seller, he had a boat seat sitting on this frame. I removed the frame and...
